Bhedabheda
Bhedābheda Vedānta is one of the several traditions of Vedānta philosophy in India. “Bhedābheda” is a Sanskrit word meaning “Difference and Non-difference.” The characteristic position of all the different Bhedābheda Vedānta schools is that the individual self is both different and not different from the ultimate reality known as Brahman. Bhedābheda reconciles the positions of two other major schools of Vedānta. The Advaita Vedānta that claims the individual self is completely identical to Brahman, and the Dvaita Vedānta that teaches complete difference between the individual self and Brahman. However, each thinker within the Bhedābheda Vedānta tradition has his own particular understanding of the precise meanings of the philosophical terms “difference” and “non-difference.” Bhedābheda Vedāntic ideas can traced to some of the very oldest Vedāntic texts, including quite possibly Bādarāyaṇa’s Brahma Sūtra. Bhedābheda ideas also had an enormous influence on the devotional schools of India’s medieval period. Among medieval Bhedābheda thinkers are Nimbārka, founder of the Nimbārka Sampraday which is now centred in Vrindāvan, Vallabha, founder of the Puṣṭimārga devotional sect now centered in Nathdwara, Rajasthan, and Caitanya the founder of the Gaudīya Vaiṣṇava sect based in the northeastern Indian state of West Bengal.
